dc.description.abstract	What makes it the case that we draw the boundary between blue and green where we draw it? Do we draw this boundary where we draw it because our perceptual system is biologically determined in this way? Or is it culture and language that guide the way we categorize colors? These two possible answers have shaped the historical discussion opposing so-called universalists to relativists. Yet, the most recent theoretical developments on color categorization reveal the limits of such a polarization. © 2014 The Author(s) Philosophy Compass © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
